Not great news about ESPO Springs and Things

[hunt2elk]

Don't know if this has been posted about on FBBO yet, but it is very unfortunate. I bet I have bought 12 sets of leaf springs from them over the years.
espo, bad news for some.

I wonder if it has something to do with the extra cost placed on them, I can’t mention too much since we’re not in the political forum.

Who’s next?

Greeting guys,
While I am going to retire, all orders in now and restorations here WILL get finished. I am in talks with 3 different places about buying out the reproduction radiator business. Along with that, the restoration part. I will train the new ownwer on how to restore one correctly as I see it, so there will be some down time, the buisness will live on. As soon as something is concrete, I will post an update onb time table and owners. THANKS for all the kind words!! I have loved doing this for the past 35 years.
